Well, there’s no turning back now. I have picked and purchased my dress. Yes, perhaps only the deposit (which was in itself the most money I’ve ever paid for a piece of clothing)…but, I’m not committed to not only Frank – but this beautiful garment. LOL!!!
Knowing that Frank is reading my posts - and also some of guests, and wanting to keep the actual dress a surprise, I will only say that the weekend with my mom, new MIL, SIL and MOH made me realize that this Manhattan hasn’t made me that “hard”. Although I’m DEFINITELY not a princess, ball-gown girl…the beautiful softness that I loved as a little girl in Chattanooga, TN is still there. THANK GOODNESS!
Every day, I, along with my fashionable and stylish New York women, put on my “armor” of black, chic solid and crisp, tailored cuts to go out and conquer this city. I was certain that I would pick an equally suited wedding gown – just in white. Ha, ha, ha!
And I did try – believe me… I loved trying on gowns from Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Pronovias, and Monique Lhuillier …but, I was pleasantly shocked to pick a dress that is a little more “girly”, softer and more “demure” than I had originally thought I’d like. Wow…everyday, I grow more and more …I’m surprising myself.
It was a great weekend, good for family and friends to get together, spend time chatting and learning about each other. They will be our new family – so having their support means a lot to both of us!
